Thursday therapy

I remember seeing a programme on tv about people who suffered from a rare condition in which they spasmed all the time. They were unable to carry out any normal tasks without great discomfort. However one lady could suspend this horror when she concentrated on playing the flute. The tremors ceased. Not that I'm comparing my stress in any way to their suffering but sometimes when I'm concentrating on a Life drawing the problems and worries of the day can disappear. I wonder whether this intense concentration can affect the neural connections and ease the mind. Krikey that was along winded way of saying it was a good session

Saturday Life Drawing

Red Brick Mills Life Drawing sessions are great and I do need my weekly fix. But at the moment I find myself ending up asking more questions than resolving an intention. I always like bits of my drawings and am frustrated at the lack of clarity in other parts. Finish is my big adversary.
I want to spend time developing something but can often lose the energy.I need some good advice or divine intervention.
